Undweyn Maccus De Norseman - Is Undweyn's dad Macbeth?

We seem to share Undweyn Maccus de Norseman and where do you go from there? I note that maxwells and Lyons share Undweyn as first ancestor. And Lyon is the family name that owns (inherited) Glamis castle - which is also Macbeth's castle. Edgar Shriver e.shriver@coronarybypassdevices.com

Interesting! I know that Leroy De Norseman is a great great grandfather of mine, his mother was Platudinous de Norseman and from some internet info it look like she is related to Maccus de Norseman, but I hit a wall at that state..I am hoping that some peoples can fill in the gaps

Proceed with care on descendants of Undweyn. there are two at least trails to him in internet sites one (Geni) suggests birth c 1055 , the other c 1105(roots web- and others). The Le Roy family records were burned 13th century. Perhaps there are Latin documents elsewhere i.e. Vatican. I too have fallen into this trap of misleading internet based information. Tim

Thank Tim....Sometimes it is hard to know for sure who are your ancestors or not...but I did hit a wall with Undewynn...who knows who he is and who he is related to

Geni has Maccus de norseman as son of Undweyn de norseman and Lady Platitudinous de northman. Also has Maccus de norseman as married to Lady Misability de Norseman. The well near the headwaters of river Tay is named after Maccus, namely Maccus well or the Maxwell clan The sons who stayed there are in a well established Maxwell lineage. They do not show Macbeth as father of Undweyn. Our lineage seems to switch to Normandy in France and it also also seems well established. They come to Quebec.-and US. De Norseman family gets back into myths and legends and doesn't seem to quite link up to Undweyn of Platitudinous or Miscibility but it certainly seems more likely than not that is our ancestral family. - in my opinion.

Officially, Macbeth has no male Heirs other than a young son who was placed on the throne and shortly murdered. There are nothing that connects undewyn Maccus to Macbeth other than people putting it in thier trees. I found another reference to Undewyn father being Maccus of man who goes back to Ragnar Lodbrok but there is little evidence there also.

Leroy De Norseman is also a Great Great grandfather of mine as well. I am trying to trace my lineage back but can not find out a lot of information

On the free Mormon site it shows Leroy De Norseman as son of Undewyn Maccus De Norseman...then suddenly it shows Mac Bethad MacRory with (17th king of Scots)..for emphasis...its exciting to find ...,but I wonder if its a marketing gimmick, to get you pay for whatever services might provide the proof...sort of like the old family crest con of pre~internet days....It doesnt help that 90% of the internet genealogy sites are owned by one corporation with ties to the latter day saints church...its a $360+ million per year business...I fell for the trap too...but havent given any money away for it yet...Thats why I like geni for checking out the stuff I find on the other site...The other site lost some credibility when they showed who my ancestors were "on the other side of the flood" to a particular son of Noah

I don’t know about the MacBeth claim. It would be interesting to look into though. I do know that it’s highly possible the family is related to Ivar the Boneless or Rollo. I did do an Ancestry.com DNA test, and it came up with 29%Brittish, 24% Scandinavian, and 19% Scott’s-Irish. I also happen to be a Maxwell from the line of the family that ended up in NYC area at the time of the revolution. Likely son of Anthony Maxwell and Eve (Efje) Vreeland that is my ancestor would be William, likely killed in the war.

Also read that some Mediterranean pottery was found at Caerlaverock Castle.

Hope this helps!

The Book of Maxwell could be helpful.

I ran into this years ago one of the marriages produced no children ...i think its one of those things where someone new to genealogy tried to make something fit i fell for it for about week til i researched it
it was exciting though
